1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Masonbrook Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 01109712 and the registered office address is Avebury House, St Peter Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8BN.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

The presentation currency is £ sterling.

Related party exemption

The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Significant judgements and estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date, and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty:

1) Fair value of investment property

The fair value of the property is subject to estimation by the directors. In considering the fair value, directors review rental yields, market conditions and reference to external professional valuations.

Turnover

Turnover represents income from the maintenance and repair of properties during the year (excluding value added tax) adjusted for accrued and deferred income where applicable.

Investment property

Investment property is carried at fair value determined by external valuers and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, locations or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

The aggregate surplus or deficit arising on revaluation is transferred to the investment property revaluation reserve.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the company's taxable profits and its results are stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of gains and losses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements.

Deferred tax is measured at the average tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis.

Going concern

The company is reliant on the continued support of the directors and the holding company and believe that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.

Financial instruments

The company only has financial assets and liabilities of the kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

3.	EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was NIL (2022 - NIL).

4.	INVESTMENT PROPERTY

Land and buildings are considered to be investment properties by the directors.

The market value of the investment properties has been assessed by the directors.

The historical cost of the investment property is £52,100 (2022: £52,100)
